07-25-13 - Pike County, PA news article on Planned Communitie
In my opinion, the title should read: THE REAL PROBLEM WITH PLANNED COMMUNITIES IN PIKE AND MONROE COUNTIES PENNSYLVANIA MAYBE THE SAME HOA BOARD CRIMINALITY IN FAR TOO MANY OTHER AREAS OF PA AND THE US TOO!( I am using "HOA" to simplify the complexity of the many names for these communities. In using "HOA," I am including COA's, POA's, MUD's, PUD's (CIC's, CID's).
Please take the time to go to the link and read this entire article! In my opinion, this article is really important, though, as PIke County is right next to Monroe County, PA and the nightmare in HOA' s has been long and enduring and they know that. It is not "the people" as the Pike County, PA, District Attorney, Ray Tonkin, states, but the ABUSIVE BOARDS (some boards or individual board members), maybe some INDUSTRY, and some ATTORNEYS and those associated, like insurance agents and banksters, in my opinion and experience. I hope Mr. Tonkin will look at the facts and the cases and reconsider his opinion!
They are wrong and hopefully, this is another "crack," an opening, to expose this mess and criminality forced upon innocent people in their homes.
I believe, last I heard, Monroe and Pike counties in PA have the highest percentage of planned communities and populations in planned communities in the country. Go back and view the Monroe Foreclosure (fraud closure) study from 2003. Absolutely despicable!
This report, should tell you more: http://jsg.legis.state.pa.us/
I ROUTINELY send the man who headed this up, Ted Herman, on the HOA horrors in PA and some on the national level. He claims his job was to look at the water systems servicing and focus was on that. OK! I have spoken with him a few times and continue to email him on the atrocities, lack of oversight and frauds upon the courts and the people, by those in the system that are supposed to be upholding the rights of the innocent, not enriching these thieves, thug and bullies, who may be their friends. The taking of innocent peoples homes, livelihoods and security to enrich these perpetrators and criminals, to cover up the actual crimes of the perpetrators is despicable! The victims need and deserve to be rectified. Vulnerable populations, including single female and single parent households and unsuspecting homeowners are the hardest hit and selectively targeted for this malicious, outrageous legal abuse, criminality and property theft for the benefit of the perpetrators and their associates. Talk to the victims and you will get the truth! Investigate the HOA boards, attorneys, insurance agents, some banksters and the courts and you will find out who the real criminals in these groups are! It is sad that an entire industry has become so entrenched with criminality and injustices, forced and perpetrated against innocent homeowners, for the benefit of a few! How about the same type of HOA investigation taking place in Las Vegas (hoacorruption.com, http://www.justice.gov/
For more on that investigation, please listen to NV senator Mike Schneider in an interview from Saturday, July 20, 2013,onthecommons.us, or onthecommons.net, with Shu Bartholomew.
If you have any questions on the horrific impact on the health of the HOA, etc. victims and their families, please see the help Dr. Gary Solomon, CSN, is trying to offer at hoaacademy.com and hoasyndrome.com and Dr Karin Huffer, too, lvaallc.org andlegalabusesyndrome.com.
Those in health care have to recognize that the abusive and predatory HOA board member(s), and their accomplices are the perpetrators and the incubators for "The New Domestic Violence," "HOA Syndrome" and "Legal Abuse Syndrome." These are bullies, adult bullies destroying innocent peoples lives, while entrapping them and then stealing their homes and equity!
Please take the time to look at the facts and educate others.

DINGMAN — Planned communities, which make up of lion's share of new development in Pike County, come with a host of problems ranging from costly legal battles to the spread of heroin addiction, according to a recent discussion among community associations and elected officials.
The 21-member Alliance of Community Associations was founded seven years ago so that planned communities, in joining forces, could work for the good of its overall membership.
“The problems surrounding planned communities are very complicated," said State Representative Mike Peifer (R-139 District), who, with Pike County District Attorney Ray Tonkin, were guest speakers at the alliance's July 11 meeting. "Eighty percent of all new housing since 2000 is in planned communities."
Pennsylvania's Uniform Planned Community Act of 1997 regulates homeowners' associations that own or maintain common areas. Typically, a homeowners' association will own, maintain, or control open spaces, entrance gates, streets, street lights, walking trails, beaches, hydrants, storm water management systems, and on-site septic systems, unless these services and amenities are dedicated to the municipality in which they are located.
Peifer said the Uniform Planned Community Act is a good document but it has no “teeth” to it.
John Crerand, president of the Alliance of Community Associations, said the Act needs to be amended so that the answer to every problem arising between homeowners and their community boards of directors is not always “sue me.” This is the only legal route an individual homeowner can take, but it is cost-prohibitive, he said.
Dick Hanel of Marcel Lakes said the security of dams is one of the most pressing problems facing planned communities. Lakes, made possible by dams, are often the most sought-after feature among prospective home buyers. But Hanel said the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection wants all dams to protect against a 500-year flood height increase, which also comes with a prohibitive cost.
“Marcel Lakes would need to first get a design expert in at a cost of almost $100,000," Hanel said. "How can the state help us?”
Peifer told Hanel the state contains many high-hazard dams.
“Trying to find money is a big issue," Peifer said. "I have no answer.""
Constituents can get in touch with Peifer by email at mpeifer@pahousegop.com and the email address for Pike County, DA Ray Tonkin is: daoffice@pikepa.org.

Community alliance meets with elected officials about challenges from heroin addition to unsecured dams
